We have never tried that. I don’t know whether I’d have the guts to.

Even when I peel vegetables, I usually try to scrub them thoroughly clean first, if for no other reason than to prevent our knives and peelers from getting dulled.

I tried scrubbing celeriac the first few times, but got nowhere. Now, I don’t even bother. I just give it a good rinse and start hacking!

Needless to say, I can’t imagine how much work it would be to get one clean enough to just bite into. Celeriac is delicious, but it’s got to be the dirtiest of all the root vegetables.

-Erik

The gentleman who sold it to me said that you can actually eat the skin – they don’t _have_ to be peeled. Have you ever tried eating them that way? Seems like you’d really have to scrub them down. They sure are delicious – I love the citrus smell that you get from them right before the taste of the celery.
